WHEEL FOR ROAD VEHICLES.-

Application filed August 21, 1924, Serial Noi i erence to the' accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1, is a Vertical section through showing one form of the invention. i

Fig. 2, is a Vertical section through' a wheel showing a :further form 'of the invention. i r

Thehub A and outer part carryingthe felloe are connected together by annular strips ofleather or` other-'material C of U or approximately U shape in; cross section i 'and' arranged in pairs .to form annular chambers c having. a radial flange A between them, and plates D, D at the front and back of the wheel are atxed to the part B carrying the felloe and a cap E is affixed to the front plate as described injmy prior Patent No. 1,472,594.

In the form of the inventi'onshown in' Fig'. l, an aperture b is formedfin the' inner pe:

ripheral portion ofthe outer part B to re: 'ceive a tube f which passes 'out through one of the side portions of the part B being provided with an air ValVe F a'd apted to receive a wheeL ?33,421, and in Great Britain March 13, 1924.*

an air pump for supplying air'under pres- 'sure to the annular space A between the radial flangeA and the part B. The inner Strips C, those adjacent to the radial flange A ,'are formed with apertures 0 to allow the air pumped' into the annular chamber A? to penetrate into the interier of the annular chambers c. i

'In the form of the invention 'shown 'in Fig.

2 the valve F may be placed in one of the sde portions of the part B, and an aperture 6 or a series of apertures b formed in the inner peripheral portion thereof.

In this case air under pressure is supplied to the space B in the part B as well as to the space A and the chambers c.

What I claim as my invention v to protect by'Letters Pate-nt is z and desire In a yehcle wheel of the type referre'd to,

the combinaton with a hub part, an outer part'spaced therefrom and carrying the fell'oe, two pairs of annular strips of pliable materia-1 connecting the two parts together and forming therewith an enclosed space,fl

and a'central fiange on the hub part projecting outwards'between the pairs of ani nular strps and by contact therewith form,- ng a' gulde for the relative radial movement of said two' parts, of ayalve for sup'plying ar underpressure to the enclosed 'space between the-outer part and the hub part.
